Name That Trauma :: Reader Amber H. on a Wintry Earwig

Well, I think I was about 7 or 8 and I was watching a Saturday afternoon movie (this would have been ’87 or ’88) and there was a movie about some kind of big, white worm that was crawling around a house… it would crawl into the people’s ears and take over their bodies somehow.

Seems like they were stuck there- because they were snowed in or something?

I just remember seeing the lady sitting in front of a fire, and watching that worm “sneaking” up on her…. totally FREAKED me out, but to this day I can’t remember anything else about the movie or who was in it.

On a side note, it reminds me of the STAR TREK movie where the bad guys put the little creatures in the good guys ears and it made them their slaves…..
